Keir Starmer tweeted, we hear these sorts of words a lot, what is going to be done, but you feel you're back in a ghetto that belonged to an era before the Second World War.

Take it for the sake of argument, because we can't know yet whether this is connected with Iran or not.

I think what is absolutely clear is that there has now been a pattern of attacks which should make everybody in this country, everybody's blood run cold.

Because we're seeing a pattern of attacks against one particular ethnic minority in this country, one community, on a repeated basis.

Keir Starmer tweeting saying the anti-Semitic attack in Golders Green is utterly appalling.

Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain.

Those responsible will be brought to justice.

I think that we hear these sorts of words a lot.

I think plenty of British Jews and indeed everybody else will now start to ask and wonder exactly more than words what is going to be done to prevent this from happening again and becoming a really chilling and dark recurring theme all

of life in our country.

Kemi Badenox also tweeted saying, Jewish people in our country are under constant attack.

This is no longer a growing pattern.

There is an epidemic of violence against Jewish people.

This is now a national emergency and needs to be treated as such by the government and public authorities.

I do think that, and I see David Lammy, the Deputy Prime Minister's tweet as well, saying we stand with the Jewish community, we must root out this hatred.

I do think now, partly because we see that this is becoming a recurring phenomenon.

Whatever the origin of it, and we can't know that, we'll presumably find out more in the next 24 hours by the time we record again, what we can certainly say is that Jewish people appear to be repeatedly and consistently targeted.

Absolutely.

And I think that the political pressure on this and the political salience of this is now going to rise and going to become more intense very quickly.

And I think there will be a lot of pressure on the government now.
